Abstract: Allocating a physical radio resource for a non-guaranteed bit rate (non-GBR) bearer in a distributed communications system (DCS) is disclosed. More specifically, the method enables a radio circuit in a network node to divide the physical radio resource among a number of non-GBR quality-of-service (QoS) class identifiers (QCIs) based on a number of predetermined scheduling ratios, respectively. The radio circuit can be configured to dynamically rebalance physical radio resource allocation among the non-GBR QCIs such that the network node can maintain the predetermined scheduling ratios or respond to a reconfiguration of the predetermined scheduling ratios among the non-GBR QCIs. As a result, a network operator(s) can dynamically adjust physical radio resource allocation among the non-GBR QCIs based on, for example, subscribers' network usage and plan limits, thus making it possible for the network operator(s) to customize QoS configuration to enable differentiated non-GBR services.

The one or more network devices allocate, instantiate, and provision virtual resources for each of the multiple NSIs; and services User Equipment (UE) sessions via one of the multiple slice instance variations based on UE selection of one of the multiple slice variation levels of the slice variation type.
